I am a firm believer that the Bible has given to us to teach us what to do in our life. It has been the standard I have obeyed in my life since I became Christian. Sometimes, I’m writing topics related to what the Bible is teaching about money and finance. Here’s the reason why.
There are many lessons and wisdom that you can get from the Bible about money, work, business and finance. I have read the Book of Proverbs two months ago and I have noticed that it is full of wisdom about money, finance, relationship and work.
